Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, charge your WHOOP 5.0 using the provided corded Basic Charger until the indicator confirms a full battery. Download the official WHOOP app on your smartphone, create your account, and follow the in-app pairing instructions to link your device via Bluetooth. Ensure the CoreKnit band is worn snugly against your skin, ideally an inch above your wrist bone, to maintain sensor accuracy. To care for your device, wipe the band and the sensor pod with a damp cloth after intense workouts to remove sweat and debris. The device is designed to be worn 24/7, including in the shower, though it is recommended to ensure the band is thoroughly dried afterward to maintain skin health.
